Distributions on account thereof which are included in (A)),
shall be used by the General Partner immediately upon
distribution thereof to prepay any promissory notes contributed
by the General Partner to the Partnership."
5. Section 16 of the Partnership Agreement is amended by adding the
following text at the end thereof:
"No Principal will voluntarily assign, pledge, mortgage,
hypothecate, sell or otherwise dispose of or encumber (a
